After placing second in the region, the Gilbert High School volleyball team is headed to the Class 3A Lower State final.

The Lady Indians rallied from trailing two sets to one Oct. 26 to take a five-set victory over host team Camden to reach the state semifinals for the first time since 2019.

The scores were 21-25, 25-21, 21-25, 27-25 and 16-14. 

Instead of a fourth meeting with Region 5-3A champion Orangeburg-Wilkinson, Gilbert (19-8-1) will travel to Charleston Halloween night to face Phillip Simmons for the Lower State title.

The Lady Iron Horses defeated the Bruinettes in three sets 25-18, 25-17, 25-17.

The winner will face either Powdersville or Wren out of the Upper State in the Class 3A final Nov. 3 at Dreher High School.
